	The THz-FEL at the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research, Osaka University can generate high-intensity THz pulses or FEL macropulses, which comprise approximately 100 micropulses at 37 ns intervals in the 27 MHz mode or 400 micropulses at 9.2 ns intervals in the 108 MHz mode. The maximum macropulse energy in the 27 MHz mode reaches 26 mJ at a frequency of 4.5 THz and the micropulse energy is estimated to be 0.2 mJ. To open new areas of studies with high intensity THz radiation for user experiments, we are developing a single pulse extraction system from the pulse train using a laser activating semiconductor reflective switch. We have succeeded in extracting a single THz pulse, duration of which is estimated to be less than 20 ps, from the FEL macropulse using a gallium arsenide wafer for the switch. We will report on the THz pulse extraction system and its performance.

TUP080	Terahertz Source Utilizing Resonant Coherent Diffraction Radiation at KEK ERL Test Accelerator	radiation, cavity, photon, operation	547
	Y. Honda, A. Aryshev, M. Shevelev, M. Shimada KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	An energy recovery linac test accelerator, cERL, has been developing at KEK. It can produce a high repetition rate short bunched electron beam in a continuous operation mode. We propose to develop a high power THz radiation source at the return loop of the cERL. Coherent diffraction radiation of THz regime is emitted when an electron bunch passes through a conductive mirror with a beam hole at the center. If we form an optical cavity using two mirrors facing each other and the cavity length coincides with the bunch repetition rate, the coherent diffraction radiation of multiple bunches adds up coherently in the cavity. By extracting the power through transmission of one of the mirrors, we can realize a high power and high efficiency THz source. We discuss performance of the source assuming the beam parameters of cERL.

	In today's world there is a significant demand for FEL-based THz radiation sources. They have a wide tuning range, a narrow band of radiation, and comparably high peak and average emission power. There are a significant number of these machines in the world, operating or in the development. The main difference between a long-wave FEL, of THz or a millimeter band, and a conventional one is a too big transverse size of the fundamental mode of an open optical resonator. It claims a large gap in an undulator that dramatically decreases its strength. Both factors sorely decrease the amplification and the efficiency, and often make lasing impossible. The main way to solve this problem is to use a waveguide optical resonator. It decreases and controls the transverse size of the fundamental mode. However, the waveguide causes a number of problems: power absorption in its walls; higher modes generation by inhomogeneities, as it is not ideal; electron beam injection into a FEL is more sophisticated; also outcoupling is more complicated; finally, the resonator detuning control claims some special solutions. The waveguide dispersion relation differs from one in the free space. It shifts up the wavelength of the FEL, changes the optimal detuning, and creates a parasitic mode near the critical wavelength of the waveguide. These problems and possible solutions to them are considered.

WEP076	Tapering Studies for TW Level X-ray FELs with a Superconducting Undulator and Built-in Focusing	undulator, FEL, electron, simulation	726
	C. Emma UCLA, Los Angeles, USA K. Fang, C. Pellegrini, J. Wu SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA
	Funding: U.S. Department of Energy DE-SC0009983. Tapering optimization schemes for TeraWatt (TW) level X-ray Free Electron Lasers (FELs) are critically sensitive to the length of individual undulator and break sections. Break sections can be considerably shortened if the focusing quadrupole field is superimposed on the undulator field increasing the filling factor and the overall extraction efficiency of the tapered FEL. Furthermore, distributed focusing reduces the FODO length and allows one to use smaller beta functions. This reduces particle de-trapping due to betatron motion from the radial tails of the electron beam. We present numerical calculations of the tapering optimization for such an undulator using the three dimensional time dependent code GENESIS. Time dependent simulations show that 8 keV photons can be produced with over 3 TW peak power in a 100m long undulator. We also analyze in detail the time dependent effects leading to power saturation in the taper region. The impact of the synchrotron sideband growth on particle detrapping and taper saturation is discussed. We show that the optimal taper profile obtained from time independent simulation does not yield the maximum extraction efficiency when multi-frequency effects are included. A discussion of how to incorporate these effects in a revised model is presented.
